It was about ten PM and I'd finished the admin and returned the folders to Tech Services after a day's auditing in our bedroom. Ive never had the time and wherewithal to be a voracious reader and as you all know this is even more so for a staff member but I was in a mood for reaing. We had a bookcase with many things piled on it including maybe twentyfive non scientology books and half a dozen of Ron's works including a fresh SOS and an old worn first edition DMSMH. I looked them over and it was all books I'd read, most of them prior to joining staff except...
Hmmm...
What's this?
A paperback titled "Inside Scientology" by Kaufman. Pukey yellow orange cover with note "40 Million Scientologists are forbidden to read this book" Forty million Scientologists? I don't see 40 million Scientologists.
Kathie was getting ready for bed and I asked if she knew anything about the book. She asked if recalled a young woman named Robin with bobbed dirty blond hair who had been on staff about three months and had split six weeks back. I said I did and she said she and some other staff had picked through the things she left behind and she had grabbed the book and our bedside AM/FM clock/radio.
I sat back and began to read...
anyone?
I read a few pages that night and a few more the next. After I brought my morning PC to the examiner the Qual Sec, the charismatic, fierce, dynamic and abrasive Bobby Wisner CLVI, OTVII, one of a half dozen superstars of perhaps the most upstat CLIV org ever stopped me at the bottom of the stairs to the HGC just inside the front door of the 1812 building. "i'd like to take a look at that book you're reading," he said. "Sure," I said and trotted up the block to our apartment then back down to the org and handed it over. This was a few years before Star Wars hit but one can get the image of him drawing a light sabre and raising a glowing goldenrod blade vertical calling me to attention as if I were a recruit and he a Parris Island D.I. "I'm assigning you a condition of Liability" he said...
